At UFC 173 on May 24 Dan Henderson and Daniel Cormier will battle it out in a number one contenders fight for the Light Heavyweight Title.

Leading up to the fight, both fighters will be extremely focused on making the 205lbs weight limit. The weight cut will be a lot more difficult for Cormier, as he is a former Heavyweight and has just fought at Light Heavyweight once.
